Nuggets vs. Jazz NBA Betting Picks + Odds Shopping
Finding the most profitable NBA betting picks has never been easier. The newly updated OddsShopper tool is like the Amazon of sports betting. Simply filter, sort the page and find the NBA best bets within seconds, as seen below.
Bojan Bogdanovic Under 4.5 Rebounds (-144) at FanDuel Sportsbook
As shown by the GIF above, sorting the player props for this game by the expected win percentage brings this prop to the very top. The OddsShopper tool gives this Bogdanovic rebound prop a 79% chance to hit the under and an expected ROI of 34%.
Tonight Bogdanovic plays a big Denver team that could be difficult to rebound against, especially when out on the perimeter as often as he is. He may see a decent amount of time against Michael Porter Jr., who has a three-inch height advantage. The Awesemo Props Tool projects Bogdanovic for only 3.18 rebounds tonight, which is far below this prop line.
Michael Porter Jr. Over 14.5 Rebounds (-130) at DraftKings Sportsbook
It has been tough sledding for Porter on the offensive end to begin this season. He has shot 38.2% from the field after shooting over 50% the previous two seasons. In other words, positive regression should be coming for the offensive stud. He has attempted double-digit shots in every game, but he has gone over this prop line just once this season. In a game against a true Western Conference test, look for the best to be brought out of Porter, leading to him hitting the over. The OddsShopper tool gives this Porter scoring prop a 75% chance to hit the over and an expected ROI if 33%.
Rudy Gobert Under 13.5 Rebounds (-140) at DraftKings Sportsbook
Gobert has been pulling down every rebound lately. He has back-to-back games with at least 20 rebounds, though the under is the play here. Awesemo’s projections have Gobert slated for 11.98 rebounds tonight, and this prop has a 70% to go under and a 21% ROI.
Gobert will face off against Nikola Jokic, which already creates issues for his rebounding numbers. Not only is Jokic a good rebounder and a big body, he is also scoring a lot, which creates fewer opportunities for rebounds. However, the more troubling part of Jokic’s game is his ability to play outside the paint. This draws Gobert away from the basket, hurting his rebounding numbers. In his past three matchups against Denver, Gobert averages just 10.3 boards and has never had more than 13.
